A facility is essential if its duplication is impossible or extremely difficult due to physical, geographical, legal or economic constraints. Take, for example, a national electricity power grid used by various electricity producers to reach the final consumers: since it would not be viable for these producers to build their own distribution network, they depend on access to the existing infrastructure.
